QOS sign St Johnstone pair on loan

Queen of the South have signed striker Chris Kane and defender Jason Kerr on loan from St Johnstone ahead of Saturday's visit to Dundee United.

Kane has previously spent time on loan at Dumbarton while Kerr was with East Fife last season, where he also weighed in with a few goals.

QOS boss Gary Naysmith told the club website: "Jason is a young centre-half who has done well and already has good experience. Chris is a proven goalscorer in both the Premier League and Championship. He is our type of player - a young lad who wants to develop."
